Spring Break in Colorado: Indoor Fun


Can you believe that Spring Break is only a few weeks away? 

Wasn't it only just Winter Break? Didn't the school year start, like, yesterday?

If you're in Colorado and planning on staying locally for the break, or if you're visiting Colorado from out of state, I'm here to help you out with some fantastic places to visit while the kids are off school.

Today I'm sharing my favorite indoor adventures with kids. That week off school may be called Spring Break, but that doesn't mean we're guaranteed Spring weather. In fact, in my experience, it tends to be snowy! So it's good to have an arsenal of indoor fun ideas ready for when the weather isn't so great - or for anytime, really. These places are all such fun that you'll want to visit no matter what the weather is like outside!

If you've been following Little Hiccups for a while, especially on Instagram, then you'll know that I'm a big fan of street art - and an even bigger fan of taking photos of my kids with street art! Shots of my kids with colorful murals have kind of become my signature post over the years.

Now, I'm far from being a pro when it comes to photography, but I do take a LOT of photos of my kids with murals, so today I thought I'd share some of my tips for getting all sorts of fun shots. Because I'm not a photographer you know that these are all things you'll be able to easily replicate yourself with minimal photography skills. Whether you're shooting with a DSLR or phone camera all of these tips are ideas that you can use. You know what? These even all work for getting fun pics of your kids even if there's not a mural in the background too. But life is always more fun with more color!

This is a long post because I have so many tips for you and a lot of inspiration photos to share. Make sure to save it. If you scroll to the bottom you'll find some Pinterest posts you can save for later.

Prismajic: Shiki Dreams

Are you ready to enter a world of wonder and magic? 

Welcome to Shiki Dreams at Prismajic.

A world where art and technology come together to create a surreal forest filled with wonderous creatures and hidden treasures at every turn. A world that feels so far away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. 

So, just what is this wonderous place? Shiki Dreams at Prismajic is an immersive art experience that takes visitors through a magical forest. This forest is home to Shiki, a mystical yeti, as well as other forest spirits that can be found throughout the landscape if only you know where (and how) to look. 

We recently visited Shiki Dreams at Prismajic and I'm excited to share it with you today.

Chautauqua Park Bears 2024

Boulder's bears are back!

Well, not the real bears - they're most likely hibernating right now - but the colorful bears that call Chautauqua Park home each Winter are back!

This Winter season fifteen colorful bear sculptures can be found dotted around Boulder's Chautauqua Park as part of the Art in the Park event. Each bear has been painted by a different artist and despite starting from the same blank canvas no two bears are alike.

Spookadelia: Doubt's Echo

Winter is in full swing here in Colorado with lots of snow and grey days. You know what grey snowy days need? Color! Lots of color! 

And do I have a lot of color for you today!

At the end of Winter Break we visited Spectra Art Space in Denver to check out the immersive, and incredibly colorful, exhibition Spookadelia: Doubt's Echo.

As you can probably guess from the name, Spookadelia is actually Spectra's annual Halloween exhibition, but as luck would have it this popular exhibition runs through the end of February. So, if you're like me and you can't get enough of spooky vibes and all the color then this is the exhibition for you!

Let's go check it out...
